Has an easy initial setup process, but its stability needs improvement
We use the product for asset management The product’s stability needs improvement. We have been using Micro Focus ZENworks Asset Management for two years. I rate the product's stability an eight out of ten. It could be better.  Our organization has around 50-100 Micro Focus ZENworks Asset…
Nikhil Gohil - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables effective incident management and seamless workflow automation with valuable mobile accessibility
I haven't thought deeply about improvements for ServiceNow or what might be missing right now. There are so many modules and features in ServiceNow that I haven't explored them all, so it's hard to say what might be missing or should be improved. I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a scalable product."
"I like that in ServiceNow creating workflows is simpler than that in HP Service Manager. Also, I really like the customization feature. It allows us to customize the service portal and permits us to do a lot of customization per business needs."
"The return on investment is good when implementing for ourselves and for other clients."
"ServiceNow is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface."
"​The workflow capability for easy setup is powerful."
"I have seen ROI from ServiceNow, as the client I mentioned earlier is achieving ROI for adopting this cloud-based technology."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"Flexibility is the most valuable feature of ServiceNow, that is, being able to modify it to do what we need it to do."
"It's actually easy to understand."
 

Cons

"The product’s stability needs improvement."
"We do a lot of relatively advanced stuff for the size that we are, but ServiceNow itself is so big and to some extent, there is a significant amount of complexity that you have, a big learning curve I would say, in order to really get on board."
"ServiceNow claims to help a lot, but once you sell the product, it's as if you're on your own."
"It's not very secure, it's web-based, and I prefer Remedy. Both the security and the web interface could be improved."
"For me, there's a real opportunity, especially within the IT Service Management suite, to give a much better overall view of the workflow that individuals have across the different applications. At the moment, a lot of information is quite siloed in the different tables in ServiceNow."
"The high price is a huge barrier in Portugal."
"Creating service catalog forms could be made easier."
"They could improve license management, particularly when integrating different applications or toolsets."
"The solution is lacking in the mobile application area that could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has reasonable pricing."
"The solution is expensive."
"There are licensing fees."
"For large-scale companies, the cost of ServiceNow is not expensive, but for small and mid-scale companies, it is higher."
"ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."
"ServiceNow tends to be a little bit more expensive as compared to BMC Helix ITSM."
"ServiceNow is an expensive solution."
"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."
"The price of this solution is expensive."
